Elderberry Arts

Like creative things, photography, jewellery making, sewing, cookery, crafts and growing my own fruit and veg. Like London buses (cos they mean I'm nearly home), ladybirds, goats!, elephants, wind turbines, Long necks, the sea, nature and a million other things :)
Love music, especially live music and loving the fact that that is so much more of it around down here. Would love to see Kings of Leon, Maroon 5 and Pink... and Marillion and Jack Johnson again ♥ Couldn't live without music.

I have been designing and making jewellery for about ten years now. I own and run my own business, Elderberry Arts. Basically I get to play with beads, silver and my camera all day and get paid for it! Can't get better than that :) lol

I have written several jewellery projects and articles for magazines including Creative Crafting, Make Jewellery, Bead and the American magazine Creative Jewellery. I also write jewellery making tutorials for the website, jewelry lessons.

I love photography so I'm always the one behind the camera rather tahn in front of it! (which suits me fine! lol) Take a lot of landscape, black & white and macro shots.I love black and white photos, there is something about them that colour just doesn't have and macro photos show a whole new world we don't normally notice. I have had a few photos placed in online competitions and have also had pictures published in The Grimsby Telegraph several times.

I'm studying through the Open University, slowly working towards a degree though in what I'm not sure as I can't decide between psychology and childhood and youth studies. There are so many courses I'd like to do. This year I'm doing psychology and social sciences which I'm really not enjoying.Typically, it's one of the essential modules!
